Chapter 279: 099. The Sea of Lord Entropy

The player known as Mugamuga was his fallback plan.

The Arcane Energy rental services provided by Li Aozi were abundant, yet anyone with a keen eye could see at a glance that only "Gravity" was Li Aozi’s most powerful force—of course, it came at a considerable price.

They had paid a hefty price, pooling the resources of the entire guild to secure a single slot, and Old Blind did not hesitate to entrust the only rented "Gravity" Arcane Energy to Mugamuga, who was the most adept at controlling it, had the highest level, and the quickest reaction time, in order to complete the task.

Sure enough, Mugamuga blended in smoothly, using the invisibility effect provided by "Gravity," Mugamuga could last underground for forty minutes, and there was no need to worry about the camera, as taking screenshots and posting them to the Game Forum before downloading them from within the game did the trick—this also earned a wave of attention, making it a very cost-effective move.

Mugamuga browsed quickly through the underground landscape, and for him, who was still a newcomer, the variety of scenes before him could definitely be described as "I don’t understand what I’m seeing, but I’m profoundly shocked"—there were complex precision mini particle colliders, one-to-one replicas of urban combat killing houses, exoskeletons that allowed for easy wall and ceiling traversal, and even enhancements for Martial Artists to bolster their Qi Energy.

The Four Nations’ research on Transcendents was extremely in-depth. They paid great attention to enhancing the combat ability and styles of low-level Transcendents, such as gaining greater mobility to dodge artillery barrages or wearing armor that was far too heavy for mortals but just right for Transcendents, combining both cold and firearms to fully unleash the destructive power of Transcendents.

Even Arcane Users, who were rarely seen in Sky Ring on normal days, were here on display, dissected and experimented on—brazenly laid out on the dissecting table, their bodies cut open, brains stimulated with electrodes to test the operations of the brain and the changes in body organs when Arcane Energy was released—the whole process was exceedingly bloody, and Mugamuga nearly vomited after taking the pictures.

Even though there were many startling images, Mugamuga had yet to see the objective of his mission—the hydrogen bomb.

So he continued to delve deeper. Having expended a lot of Arcane Energy, he had no choice but to hide in a trash bin and reveal himself to rest for a while, waiting until his energy was fully restored before proceeding with the reconnaissance.

The invisibility effect of "Gravity" Arcane Energy was strange, as it seemed to deflect any light that hit it. Based on this effect, the experience for players wasn’t very good. Mugamuga could feel his body shivering due to the lack of external radiation, but fortunately, this was just a game and a bit of endurance would see him through.

He captured screenshots and recorded information, all the while maintaining close communication with his teammates, drawing out as detailed a map as possible. Although the Fishmen Guild didn’t have their own analysts, as a guild that started with live streaming, they had a truly huge fan base. Once the images were shared in the group chat, it wasn’t long before fans with good analytical skills began to hypothesize about the underground space.

"It’s clearly a termite nest structure, B4 is an emergency exit, G9 could serve as a civil defense project, accepting refugees—hey, this H3 is interesting, it’s positioned here, could it be linking to an elevator shaft?"

With the analysis from the fans, Old Blind immediately commanded Mugamuga to move towards H3. Mugamuga nervously walked past the mobile security guards, daring not even to breathe loudly, stopping occasionally, exerting all effort to keep his heartbeat steady.

When he got close and took a look: sure enough, the H3 area was indeed a hidden elevator shaft. He waited a while, the elevator doors opened, a group of scientists and researchers in heavy protective gear, escorted by armed guards, emerged slowly. He quickly slipped into the elevator, joining the next batch of waiting personnel to go down.

This elevator moved incredibly slowly, possibly because it was descending a particularly long distance. Twenty minutes passed, and at one point, a researcher nearly bumped into him, causing Mugamuga to stand on one foot for several minutes, tightly pressed against the corner.

Finally, as Mugamuga’s energy was almost depleted, the elevator sank heavily, and after a moment, it opened the large doors at the bottom. The crowd streamed out, and Mugamuga was at last able to see the true face of the lowest level.

However, as Mugamuga stood stupefied on the soft sandy ground, with the salty sea breeze blowing against his face, facing the scene before him, he couldn’t calm down for a long time:

"...WTF?"

Seeing Mugamuga’s odd reaction, Old Blind asked, "Hey, Mugamuga, what’s the matter? Did you find the hydrogen bomb?"

"No, I haven’t yet, but fuck, this is... this has to be fake, right?"

"What on earth happened? Mugamuga, make yourself clear."

"It’s impossible, how can this be possible? It’s too against common sense," Mugamuga muttered to himself.

"What did you see exactly?"

"The sea."

Mugamuga answered:

"I saw the sea, but there was no water; I saw the blue sky, but there were no clouds, my God... It’s truly inconceivable."

Old Blind and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, then cursed at each other for a while. Under the friendly consolation of the President and others, a still unsatisfied Mugamuga finally reluctantly started the game broadcast.

After a brief delay, Old Blind and the others entered the live broadcast room and then, they saw that ’sea without water’:

Pale blue thick fog swirled around the ground like the Ersha Clouds above, with a multitude of fish, jellyfish, whales, freely floating and swimming in the blue fog as if they were in water. The ground was covered with coral reefs towering seventy to eighty meters high, and even in the distance, a small island floated mid-air with what appeared to be houses and farmlands, as well as coconut trees and beaches.

But where was the water?

The blue fog, why did it look so similar in form to Ersha?

Such a shocking live stream attracted many passers-by spectators. The popularity of the broadcast room soared by the minute. Even Li Aozi, who was scrolling through the Game Forum, was pushed a notification. Upon clicking it, Li Aozi immediately revealed a relieved smile.

"Yes, that’s it."

He nodded slightly:

"Ersha is the thought of Lord Entropy, while Abandon Mist is the information that has been destroyed by Lord Entropy."

The ocean here is not a real ocean; the creatures within are real, yet not creatures, merely meaningless information.

This is the horror of Lord Entropy... those destroyed by Lord Entropy never realize that they have been destroyed.

However, based on the traits of Abandon Mist, people have also used it to reproduce scenes from past eras or to store and hide some secrets.

Like hydrogen bombs, or... Elf Island.
